Our aim was to study the relationship between Type A behaviour and the occurrence of life‐events in a large sample ( n = 1003) of men aged 35–54. Over the whole sample, Type As reported more events during the past 12 months than Type Bs. This difference was found in the total score and in self‐initiated life‐events, but not in other‐initiated ones. The results were similar even if those who reported chronic illness or a severe attack of chest pain were excluded. The relationship varied, however, by age as well as by marital and occupational status
